Remarks

Use the DataSetFieldSchema class to get the properties of a data field using a DataColumn. You can discover the structure of a data field by using the following properties in this class: DataType, IsReadOnly, Length, Name, and IsUnique. In addition, you can use the Identity property to determine if a data column is set for AutoIncrement, or the PrimaryKey property to determine if a data column is in the primary key.

The DataSetFieldSchema class is used by custom control designer components to provide information about a data field at design time.

To examine the components of data using a DataSet, use the following classes.

Constructors

Nullable	Gets a value indicating whether the data field can accept `null` values.
Precision	Gets the maximum number of digits used to represent a numerical value in the data field.
PrimaryKey	Gets a value indicating whether the data field is in the primary key for the containing table or view.
Scale	Gets the number of decimal places to which numerical values in the data field are resolved.
